Sunday Morning Hikes
The Ranger led Sunday Hikes are an opportunity for you to get out and explore the extensive trail networks available in many of our parks. Each week a Ranger will lead a 2-3 hour exploration with the intent of getting off the main trails and exploring some new trails. During these hikes you can expect to get out and moving, to learn some new trails & hiking safety tips, and although these aren't intended to be a traditional nature hike, the Rangers can't stop talking about the natural world, communities, species, and features they come across. **Masks are mandatory and attendance is limited to 25 hikers per hike**

"Fry" Day Fishing
Kids (4-14 years old) can join an Erie County Park Ranger on Friday evenings to learn the basics of fishing. In addition to fishing, participants can learn about fish identification, fishing equipment and techniques, knot tying, angling ethics, and aquatic ecology. Fishing poles will be provided but this program is limited to 10 kids, due to equipment limitations. Parents must stay on site and supervise their children. Parents do not need a fishing license for this program. ***Mask Use is Required for all participants and parents***
